Chapter 25: Ranking on the Cloud Ranking

"You are such an unexpected person. I didn't expect you to have the talent of a weapon refiner. In this case, I will tie you firmly to our Lin family. You promised me yesterday that you would become our family's You are worshiping in name, you won't go back on your word now, will you?" Lin Xuanxuan stared at Li Hanxue with a sly smile in her eyes.

"Who do you think I am?" Li Hanxue smiled awkwardly, "I will definitely do what I promised."

"This is what you said, don't go back on it."

"Well, I will never go back on my word."

After bidding farewell to Lin Xuanxuan, Li Hanxue returned to Canlan College.

This time he gained a lot. Not only did he improve his cultivation to the Ruowu realm, he also had an extra 600 gold coins in savings. More importantly, he also awakened his talent for weapon refining and personally refined a fourth-level weapon. Xuanbing, this black-toothed knife has dual attribute increases. If sold, its value will be half higher than the average fourth-level Xuanbing, worth at least three thousand gold coins.

In the future, as long as Li Hanxue has time to collect enough materials and refine them into mysterious weapons, gold coins will continue to enter his pocket, and he will no longer have to worry about money.

Li Hanxue walked into Canlan Academy with neither fast nor slow steps. As soon as he entered the academy, Li Hanxue heard the students' comments.

"Have you heard? This time the Cloud Ranking has been announced."

Every year, Canlan Academy announces the Cloud Rankings six months before the start of the inner academy selection competition. The Dengyun Ranking is a list of the comprehensive strength rankings of all the disciples of the outer academy's martial arts academy. There are only five places on the list, which represent the five seed players who are most likely to enter the inner academy this year. The students who have been on the Dengyun Ranking over the years are not In the event of an accident, most people would end up in the inner courtyard.

Therefore, the Cloud Ranking has become a standard to measure a student's comprehensive strength. All third-year students are always paying attention to the changes in the Cloud Ranking. Any slight change will attract everyone's discussion.

"I heard that there are big changes in the Cloud Ranking this time."

"What change?"

"Wang Long and Lu Zhanpeng, who originally ranked first and second respectively last year, have fallen to third and fourth place."

"How is this possible? I know Lu Zhanpeng's strength very well. He got second place in the final test last year. He has practiced Lingyun Fist, a high-grade Xuan-level skill, and has reached the fourth level. With one punch, his momentum is soaring. , very scary. Wang Long is even more unfathomable. He has cultivated the Xuan-level skill Jiaolongjin to the fifth level, and is much better than Lu Zhanpeng. It is really unbelievable that these two people will fall down? . Who is stronger than these two? "

In Nebula Continent, the skills are divided into five levels: Xuan level, Tian level, Saint level, Ancient level and Emperor level. Except for the Emperor level, the skills of each level are divided into four levels: lower, middle, upper and absolute. .

The quality of the martial arts affects the utilization efficiency of martial arts. A warrior who practices high-grade Xuan-level techniques can use martial arts qi four times more than a warrior who practices low-grade Xuan-level techniques. In other words, the same realm can produce the same performance. In terms of strength, the former consumes one-fourth of the latter's martial arts energy. In the end of the fight, the latter will definitely die of exhaustion.

What's more important is that by practicing high-grade Xuan-level exercises, the concentration of martial arts energy will be several times higher than that of lower-grade exercises. The power that bursts out within a period of time can directly crush the warriors who practice low-grade Xuan-level exercises. This is also The reason why warriors try so hard to find high-level techniques.

"Then who is ranked first and second?"

"The one ranked first, this person is very powerful, his surname is Hua Ming Liuyun. This person is very deep in the city and has been hidden for so many years. Now he is famous and very scary. It is said that Wang Long fought with him and in just one round, Wang Long was violently beaten. Unfortunately, I don’t dare to fight Hua Liuyun again.”

"One round?" The young man was stunned.

"That's right, it's just one round."

"If this is true, then Hua Liuyun is too terrifying. I didn't expect that this person is usually unknown, but he is such a powerful character. So who is the second one?"

"Everyone knows this person. She is the most recognized beauty in our martial arts academy, Senior Sister Su Xiaoya."

"It turned out to be Senior Sister Su. I heard that Senior Sister Su accidentally entered the beast's nest in Xuanming Mountain two years ago and almost died. It is said that her cultivation level plummeted after she came back. This matter was widely spread in the martial arts academy. Unexpectedly, two years later, she could be defeated by one person. It’s incredible to beat the crowd.”

"Senior Sister Su has always been very good. This is recognized by everyone."

"But when it comes to the plummeting cultivation level, I think of a person."

"who?"

"The strongest genius in our college was once favored by the special instructor Ma Hualang. Then he fell from genius to useless. Who else can we have in our college besides him?"

"Are you talking about Li Hanxue?"

"That's right! In his first year of school, he was already ranked fourth on the Cloud Ranking List. It is said that he has come back, and his goal is the inner court selection competition."

"What's the use? Although his strength has recovered somewhat, he is far from a match for Wang Long and Lu Zhanpeng, let alone Hua Liuyun."

"You and I have the same opinion. Although he has recovered a little bit of cultivation when he comes back, he is not even a warrior. In my opinion, there is no chance!"

The two of them were immersed in their discussion and didn't even notice that Li Hanxue had slowly walked towards them.

"Oops, why is he here? Let's go quickly." When the two saw Li Hanxue, they were shocked, lowered their heads and ran away quickly. Although they despised Li Hanxue on their lips, they knew in their hearts that no matter how bad Li Hanxue was, they were not someone they could offend casually.

"Hua Liuyun is indeed very strong. In just a few days, he has conquered all the strong men in the martial arts academy, ranking first." Li Hanxue clenched her fists, with a look of determination in her eyes, "But I can't do it either. Show weakness, I still have half a year, Hua Liuyun, we will decide the outcome in half a year!"

Li Hanxue came to Mahualang's room. The door was wide open. Mahualang was crossing his legs and holding a small book in his hand. The charming girl on it was posing and posing in a charming way.

Li Hanxue couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Mahualang noticed that someone was coming, and hurriedly put away the little yellow book, coughed, and said seriously: "Hanxue, it's you, why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?"

Li Hanxue suddenly felt ashamed. The door was open, how could she knock?

Ma Hualang stared at Li Hanxue and exclaimed, "Have you made a breakthrough?"

"Well, I just broke through to the Ruowu realm today." Li Hanxue couldn't wait to say, "Teacher, I have finished my work. Please take me to train."

"Don't worry, this training is different from the past. I will prepare the most special training method for you. I will not train you in the previous way this time, because your body and brain have memories of those training methods, even if No matter how hard you work and how serious you are, you won't be able to surpass your previous level. Even staying the same will become a problem, so I'm going to use a new method to train you. Only in the most critical moments can people unleash their potential. I want to. What you do is experience life and death.”

"What kind of training is that?" Li Hanxue was nervous and looking forward to it.

"You will know when the time comes." Ma Hualang said, "Come here tomorrow and I will take you away."

"Isn't Xiaoya going too?"

"That girl has reached the fourth level of the Ruowu Realm last year, and she broke through to the fifth level of the Ruowu Realm two months ago. With her strength, she must be one of the selection places in the inner court. If she goes with you, you will protect her at every turn. If you help her when there is a life or death crisis, your strength will not be exercised, and it will be a bad thing if you go." Ma Hualang laughed, "We will leave her without telling you, and you will bear the consequences yourself."

Li Hanxue had a headache. She laughed helplessly and returned to her residence. After a night's rest, she followed Ma Hualang early the next morning and ran into a deep forest after leaving Canlan Academy.

Mahualang was extremely fast, like a swift cheetah in the jungle. His figure kept flashing in the jungle, and he could travel dozens of meters in just the blink of an eye.

"Teacher is indeed a Xuanwu master, so fast!"

Li Hanxue pushed her Xuan-level mid-grade Qingling Step to the extreme before she could barely keep up with Ma Hualang's pace.

The two masters and apprentices ran wildly for a day, and finally reached the top of a high mountain just as the sun was setting.

The setting sun shines in the west, and the sky is full of rays of light falling on the mountains, making it colorful.

Li Hanxue was out of breath and covered with sweat, while Ma Hualang seemed to be strolling over without any sweat on his body.

"That's where I want to take you." Ma Hualang pointed to an ancient city at the foot of the mountain. Dark green was the main tone of the ancient city. Under the reflection of the setting sun, it revealed endless desolation and solemnity.
